    GTA VI footage leaked online

"This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games," Tweeted Bloomberg reporter, Jason Shreier, regarding the news about the leaked footage of the unreleased Grand Theft Auto VI. "I’ve confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend’s massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is indeed real," he added.

Not that there was much doubt, but I’ve confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend’s massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is indeed real. The footage is early and unfinished, of course. This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games

PC Gamer reported on Sunday that a 3GB file consisting of 90 videos of the unreleased Grand Theft Auto VI, created by infamous Rockstar games, has been posted online on the GTA Forums and is now circulating on several media platforms such as Youtube, Twitter, and Reddit, in addition to gaming forums.

It was not clear how the user that posted the file "teapotuberhacker" was able to obtain it, however, it is possible that this was due to a hack.
